OperaCarmen
Georges Bizet · 1875
In Seville, the seductive Romani factory worker Carmen captivates the naïve soldier Don José with her untamable spirit and sensuality, luring him away from his duty and childhood sweetheart Micaëla. As José descends into obsession, Carmen's affections shift to the charismatic bullfighter Escamillo, setting the stage for a tragic confrontation between love, jealousy, and fate. Bizet's masterpiece combines Spanish passion with operatic grandeur, exploring themes of desire and the destructive power of unbridled emotion.
